Unable to move
trapped in this wooden coffin
my lips are sewn and
my eyes are glued shut
My fingers are stitched together
hands secured to my sides
my legs are bound tightly
and my ankles are cuffed to each other
The only thing
that I can do is listen
as my heart beats quicker
within my chest
I cry a million tears
only to feel them flood
my eyes which have been
closed and blackened
I don't know how I got here
I know I'll never get out
I just hope that someone finds me soon
even if it's after I am gone
I just want my family to know what happened to me
I am hoping that they will find out
who is responsible for this evil doing
I pray that someday they will avenge me

Creepy
All I can feel now I've read this is the feeling of creepiness.
I really like the imaginary throughout the poem but the paragraph;
My fingers are stitched together
hands secured to my sides
my legs are bound tightly
and my ankles are cuffed to each other
Sent the most shivers down my spine.
Well done on the gold and keep writing and having great ideas.

Wow. This is quite a creepy poem, indeed. Not your normal subject matter, I believe.
Still, You did a great job on it. Best of luck in the contests.
Write on.
